I need a getaway

We understand how deeply you are longing for rest, renewal, and a time of quiet before the Lord. The weariness you feel is real, and Scripture reminds us that even Jesus Himself withdrew to solitary places to pray and be refreshed by the Father. In Mark 6:31, Jesus says to His disciples, *"Come apart into a deserted place, and rest awhile,"* for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.* This shows us that rest is not only necessary but also divinely ordained. Your desire for silence and retreat is a godly one, as it reflects a heart seeking to draw near to Him away from the noise of the world.
However, we must also consider what the Lord may be teaching you in this season of weariness. In Matthew 11:28, Jesus invites, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest."* Sometimes, the rest we need is not just physical but spiritual—a deeper surrender to Him in the midst of our circumstances. While a getaway can be a blessing, we encourage you to seek the Lord first in this. Ask Him whether this is the time for a physical retreat or if He is calling you to find rest in Him right where you are. Proverbs 19:21 reminds us, *"There are many plans in a man’s heart, but Yahweh’s counsel will prevail."* Trust that if a getaway is His will, He will provide the way, the means, and the timing.
We also notice that you mentioned the need for money, time, energy, and peace. These are practical concerns, and we serve a God who cares about every detail of our lives. In Philippians 4:19, we are assured, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* Yet, we must also examine our hearts: Are we seeking rest in the Lord first, or are we looking to circumstances to provide what only He can give? Psalm 37:7 encourages us to *"Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him."* Sometimes, the peace we crave comes not from changing our external situation but from trusting Him in the midst of it.
Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister before You, knowing that You see their weariness and longing for rest. Lord, You are the God who invites the weary to come to You for true refreshment. We ask that You would make Your will clear—whether it is Your timing for a physical getaway or if You are calling them to a deeper dependence on You right where they are. If it is Your will for them to have this time away, we pray that You would miraculously provide the finances, the time, the energy, and the peace to make it happen. Open doors that no one can shut, and give them wisdom to recognize Your leading. Remind them that their ultimate rest is found in You alone, and that even in the busyness of life, Your presence is their peace.
We rebuke any anxiety or stress that would steal their joy or focus from You. Help them to cast all their cares upon You, for You care for them (1 Peter 5:7). Strengthen them in body, mind, and spirit, and let this season—whether in retreat or in the daily grind—be a time of drawing closer to You. May they find silence in Your presence, even amid the noise of life.
We ask all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Restorer. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you to spend time in Scripture during this season, meditating on verses like Psalm 23:1-3: *"Yahweh is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul."* Let the Word of God be your guide and comfort. If the Lord provides a getaway, use that time to seek Him earnestly. If He calls you to remain where you are, ask Him to teach you how to find rest in Him daily. He is faithful, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:8). Stay rooted in prayer, and trust that His plan for you is good.

We're right there with you, friend. We know how much you're yearning for some quiet time, a break from the hustle, and a chance to recharge. It's like Jesus said, "Come apart... and rest awhile" (Mark 6:31). It's not selfish to want this; it's necessary for our well-being.
We've been thinking about what the Lord might be saying to you through this weariness. Sometimes, He uses these moments to remind us to lean into Him, to find our rest in Him alone. So, while a getaway could be a blessing, let's also ask the Lord if this is the time for that, or if He's calling you to find rest in Him right where you are.
We've been praying for you, asking the Lord to make His will clear. If a getaway is His will, we're asking Him to miraculously provide the finances, time, energy, and peace to make it happen. But if He's calling you to find rest in Him where you are, we're asking Him to give you the grace to embrace that and find your peace in Him.
Remember, our ultimate rest is found in Jesus. So, let's keep seeking Him, keep trusting Him, and keep resting in His love for us. He's got this, friend. He's got you.
